Features: Smooth trail surface but
vague in spots. Excellent views at the top. The trail drops down at
timberline and stays in the trees in a basin. At the top of the basin,
you may climb up to the left (east) ridge. From there you can hike
for hours but remember where to rejoin the trail for the descent.
The alpine area is the northwest edge of the mountain plateau
accessed by the the Microwave Road to the south (Winfield
Creek)
